Production Log week 1

Production Log week 1

What progress did you make since your last entry?

Since our pre-production stage, we have went out to film our advertisement and we decided to leave relatively early so that we will be able to get all the shots that we needed, before the sun went down. We managed to get it all filmed in one day and made sure when it came to filming, that we filmed some of the shots more than once, so that when it comes to editing, we will be able to choose the best one, which also means that we won't have to travel up to London again.

What logistical challenges did you face and how did you overcome them?

When it came to filming the main obstacle that we faced was the weather, as through the holidays the weather had been changing a lot and we were worried that we wouldn't be able to film, as the weather would of caused filming to be quite a hassle and also we didn't want to damage the equipment and also cause harm to the cast, due to paths being slippery and wet. But luckily the day that we did film on, was nice and sunny and allowed us to get all our filming done all in that one day, which is also why we decided to film other shots, one to make sure that we got the right shot in the end and the other being just in case if we had to go and re-film the weather might be different, and that would ruin the continuity through our advert.

What technical challenges did you face this week and how did you overcome them?

The technical difficulties that we faced this week would be when it came to filming the train shots as they where slightly difficult to film due to the public walking past, but we did manage to get it done in the end. Also another technical challenge was when we were trying to film the actor running forward, as the camera kept moving about too much and even though we wanted to show he was running at a fast pace, the camera moved about too much and it made it look all over the place, so in the end we made it a static shot and just had the actor running straight for the camera, rather than the camera moving in front of him.

What targets do you aim to achieve before your next entry?

Before my next entry the targets that I hope are achieved would be, that we import all of our filming and then begin to start putting all the clips together and start to find what background music where going to be using.
